Just wanted to tell you of a problem I had with an ECS CNR modem.
I recently obtained an MSI KT3ultra 2 mobo, which has 5 PCI and 1 CNR slot. Being low on funds and thinking that I might as well use that CNR slot, I bought the ECS CNR modem. What a mistake.
First off it came out of the box with no drivers. It was kinda hard to download drivers with no working modem.
So I went to a friends house and downloaded the drivers. Turns out that the win 2k/xp drivers wouldn't load. I would start up the wizard, select the .inf file, and couldn't continue as the modem name wouldn't come up on the components list.
Since I was having soem trouble loading up the childrens's games anyway, I decide to drop down to Win 98. I load up the win 98 drivers and the computer crashes whenever I try to use the modem.
I tried it a few more times, with fresh windows installs, and even went back to the store and got them to give me the drivers on a CD (which ended up being the exact same as the ones that I downloaded). No go. Modem doesn't work. Computer crashes.
Out of desperation I try loading the win 98 drivers on win 2k and then tried to upgrade them to the windows 2000 drivers. As soon as I selected the modem in device manager the PC would crash.
So I return the modenm to the store and trade it in for a "real" modem. The store manager said that I was the first person to order their CNR modem. A few days later I notice that they have yanked it from their online webpage. Good riddance.
